_The Poseidon Adventure_ (1972) had an ensemble cast of many Oscar nominated actors, some of whom played multiple roles in the film. For instance, Shelly Winters, in addition to playing Belle, also played the parts of a humpback whale and a 30-man lifeboat. Ernest Borgnine was a stunt double for the ship’s boiler. ---

Shelley Winters won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1977 for her hilarious performance in _Pete’s Dragon_, which swept the Academy Awards winning 19 awards, including the Best Song, _Boo Bop Bop Bop Bop (I Love You, Too)_, which has, of course, become the ubiquitous theme song of all Disney parks. ---

Every Disney theme park has at least one Lombardy Pudding Elk, but they are not always on public display. The one at Disneyworld, Clementine XVI, is typically kept in a large underground pen beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but is permitted to roam the park freely after it closes on the third Tuesday of every month. ---
